  2. 1. Non-collinear Magnetism in d- and f-electron Systems

    Author : Raquel Lizárraga Jurado; Olle Eriksson; Lars Nordström; Axel Svane; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Non-collinear magnetism; spin spirals; first principles; density functional theory; Fermi surfaces; electronic structure; f-electron systems; Fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, non-collinear magnetism has been studied by using density functional theory and the augmented plane wave method with local orbitals (APW+lo). Two conditions for non-collinear instabilities have been identified in this thesis. First, the Fermi energy should cut through both spin up and down states. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Theoretical Study of Magnetism in Nanostructured Materials

  6. 4. Electronic structure and exchange interactions from ab initio theory : New perspectives and implementations

    Author : Ramon Cardias Alves de Almeida; Olle Eriksson; Anders Bergman; Attila Szilva; R. B. Muniz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ab initio; exchange interactions; non-collinear magnetism; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the magnetic properties of several materials were investigated using first principle calculations. The ab initio method named real space linear muffin-tin orbitals atomic sphere approximation (RS-LMTO-ASA) was used to calculate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of bulk systems, surface and nanostructures adsorbed on surfaces.

  7. 5. Materials Engineering Using Density Functional Theory

    Author : Adrian Taga; KTH; []
    Keywords : condensed matter; electricity and magnetism;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis presents density functionalcalculations applied in several domains of interest in solidstate physics and materials science. Non-collinear magnetismhas been studied both in an artificial multi-layer structure,which could have technological relevance as a magnetic sensordevice, and as excitations in 3d ferromagnets.
